How many kids are in your child's class....(vent)

[SmallMoments]

Luke's in 1st grade & has 22. I teach 2nd and have the smallest class- which will be at 23 tomorrow (newbie). The other classes have 24-25. We have one aide to share among the four classes.

My kids are in high school and middle school so Im not sure exactly how many kids are in each class as they both have 7 teachers. In Florida though there is a class size limit and if the school does not maintain that limit (or stay under it) then every student over is a fine for the school. I think its 5000 per student? Anyhow my older son told me that at the beginning of the school year his school was scrambling to try to get the right number in each class so they would not get fined. Now when my kids were younger I want to say between 19 and 25 kids was the average. Most classes had a teacher's helper though so the teacher was not stretched so thin trying to give each child individual attention.

Well, you are probably going to laugh out loud when you hear this, but my daughter has 230 students in her whole school - grades K-12. Our town has just under 1000 yearound residents (many more in the summer, but of course they don't go to school here).

To answer your question specifically, there is one 5th grade classroom, and there are 13 kids in it. I have to say that after living all over the country and in big cities, etc. I am so glad to be part of small town America now in more ways than one.

There were maybe 200 kids in my whole school K-12 when I graduate. We had 32 kids in our class and it was/is the largest class the school has ever had. We had one class that was 6 kids. The big kicker is 7 towns go to our school haha..

Tylee (Kindy) 19 kids *one just moved away, it was 20*
Jaxon (preschool) 22 kids

Jaxon is working on writing his name and stuff like that.

Tylee has been counting past 100, counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s to a hundred and more. I'm very pleased with her class. This was a big thing for us. We moved from a much larger town to a farm outside a smaller town this summer just because she was starting school. My husband and I both decided not long after dating that if we had kids we'd move to a small town when they started school. We stuck to it.

this really doesn't make me laugh, I'm from a town of just over 2000 so I GREW UP in a class with around 15.
